Intermittent fasting and avoiding Any processed food, fast food, and drinks with sugar. There’s sugar in everything, btw. Even fast food meat. When you stop processed food, you’ll reduce a lot of hidden sugar, and you’ll feel it too!!

I’m impressed btw, as a nicotine consumer.

If it were me and I’d gone as far as you have, consider eliminating one thing you know is bad for you, in 2 week increments. Soda would be one of the first things if you consume it. Then move on to fast food or junk food. If you have a craving for a “burger and fries”, just make it at home. It won’t be as bad for you regardless.

I went Gluten free before, and lost a lot of weight in months. So much so that I was jokingly accused of using drugs. What I learned from that process is that consuming water has unimaginable effects if you’re not already. To the tune of half of your body weight in ounces everyday. When I was in this diet, with a partner, that was one of the first things we did and I lost appr 15 lbs in a couple weeks, and my sleep improved in ways I never could’ve imagined.

Im not suggesting one go the Full Boat on that diet, but even today I still use it as a guide. Less carbs and less dairy, more whole foods and protein. I went from about 215 down to 165 in about 6-7 months, with no lifestyle changes beyond diet.

You can do this !!!
